Asaf Maoz, MD, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Mass General Brigham, and Harvard Medical School, talks about whether prospective assessment of CA 19-9 has utility as part of pancreatic cancer surveillance among high-risk individuals (Abstract 10527).
Xin Gao, MD, of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, discusses initial results from the phase I EXCEED trial of LY4101174, a Nectin-4–targeting antibody-drug conjugate, for patients with advanced or metastatic urothelial carcinoma (Abstract 4517).
Yelena Y. Janjigian, MD, FASCO, of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, discusses safety results for DESTINY-Gastric03 Part 2 (arms D and F) and Part 4. The trial evaluated first-line fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan-nxki–based regimens in advanced HER2-expressing gastric cancer, gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma, and esophageal carcinoma (Abstract 4002).
Lauren Averett Byers, MD, of The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, describes data on ABBV-706—an investigational antibody-drug conjugate targeting SEZ6—alone or in combination with the anti–PD-1 monoclonal antibody budigalimab in patients with relapsed or refractory small cell lung cancer (SCLC) (Abstract 8008).
Ronald C. Chen, MD, MPH, FASCO, of the University of Kansas Medical Center, presents health-related quality of life (HRQoL) data from the AMBASSADOR trial, which showed that in patients with high-risk muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma after radical surgery, adjuvant pembrolizumab for 1 year approximately doubled disease-free survival, causes fatigue and dyspnea which modestly impacted physical function and ability to perform certain roles (such as work and hobbies), without impact on overall quality of life (Abstract 4513).
Laura Alder, MD, of Duke University Medical Center, highlights emerging data discussed in the meeting’s oral abstract session on small cell lung cancer, including increased toxicity without efficacy benefit from concurrent chemoradiation and immunotherapy, the intracranial activity of tarlatamab-dlle, and early data for a SEZ6-targeting antibody-drug conjugate.
